Thanks for the reply and photos, atleast I now know I can get to the wiring from inside the boot.

I think I'd like to do what you have done and fit LED bulbs in the high level and spoiler.

I'm going to fit it this weekend hopefully, did you get the PDF of the original Volvo fitting instructions that someone said they had I your old thread? If not no worries I'll just fit it as best I can.

I have double sided sticky foam tape that I will be putting on the spoiler on all three feet.

Hi Luke, Just sent you a email with the PDF on the spoiler, hope you get it and can open it (I'm useless with computers so hope I've done it right) those three little gold things in the boot, (resisters) I think they are called, Dave will help you best on them, where to get them and how to wire them in, I can't remember just how I did it, and I've lost the instructions he gave me, but he's a fountain of knowledge on these sort of things, David.

David is spot on with the resistors, the shunt resistance needed is 9 Ohms but it's not as simple as buying a small 9 Ohm resistor, as you can see by Davids pics.

I'll work out all the relevant info you need and post it up later.

Just sent an email with a diagram and links to the bits you need Luke - have fun!
